Kundalini Serpent, Maria Rikteryte

81 countdown「- 79」

《道德經第三章》

尚賢，使民不爭；不貴難得之貨，使民不為盜；不見可欲，使心不亂。

是以聖人之治，虛其心，實其腹，弱其志，強其骨。

常使民無知無欲。

使夫1知者不敢為也。

為無為，則無不治。

道德經第四十章

反者道之動；弱者道之用。天下萬物生於有，有生於無。

Dao De Jing Chapter Forty — C. Ganson

40

Dao is an endless circle, ever returning.

Serenity is its ultimate function.

Everything rises from existence.

Existence rises from non-existence.

Dao De Jing Chapter Forty — James Legge

40 (Dispensing with the use (of means))

The movement of the Dao

By contraries proceeds;

And weakness marks the course

Of Dao's mighty deeds.

All things under heaven sprang from It as existing (and named);

that existence sprang from It as non-existent (and not named).

Dao De Jing Chapter Forty — Arthur Waley

40

In Dao the only motion is returning;

The only useful quality, weakness.

For though all creatures under heaven are the products of Being,

Being itself is the product of Not-being.

Coiled Serpent, Eyes of the Forest by David Natale
